Good afternoon and welcome to the BBC News at One. 19 members of an | :01:50. | :01:54. | |
elite fire crew have been killed while battling wild fires in | :01:54. | :01:58. | |
Arizona. President Obama described them as heroes who put themselves in | :01:58. | :02:03. | |
harm's way to protect others. The men were trying to protect a small | :02:03. | :02:08. | |
town when they were overwhelmed by the blaze, sprashged by lightening | :02:08. | :02:12. | |
during record temperatures in the area. | :02:12. | :02:17. | |
A fierce inferno of flame and smoke, fanned by winds and fuelled by | :02:17. | :02:22. | |
tinder dry brush and forest. Efforts were continuing to control the wild | :02:22. | :02:28. | |
fire, raging across more than 1,000 acres of Arizona since Friday, | :02:28. | :02:34. | |
apparently sparked by a lightening strike. Scores of homes destroyed, | :02:35. | :02:38. | |
hundreds of resz dents evacuated, but it is the deaths of 19 | :02:38. | :02:41. | |
firefighters that have left the community in shock. | :02:41. | :02:45. | |
We grieve for the families, the department, the city. We are | :02:45. | :02:49. | |
devastated. We just lot 19 of some of the finest people you will ever | :02:49. | :02:56. | |
meet. Right now we are in a crisis. Tragedy in Arizona... It is a | :02:56. | :02:59. | |
tragedy compounded by a near-record heatwave. | :02:59. | :03:04. | |
We have 15 large fires burning. A zone, this part of the country that | :03:04. | :03:12. | |
got the est ever recorded. Through the night, the fast-moving | :03:12. | :03:16. | |
flames continued to burn as the locals tried to piece tote what | :03:16. | :03:20. | |
happened. This fire was very radical in its | :03:20. | :03:25. | |
behaviour. The fields are dry. The humidity was low, the wind coming | :03:25. | :03:29. | |
from the south. It turned on us because of monsoon action this | :03:29. | :03:34. | |
afternoon. That is what caused the deaths, the changes in the radical | :03:34. | :03:38. | |
behaviour of the burning fuels. They were just caught up in a very bad | :03:38. | :03:40. | |
situation. For firefighters in the United | :03:40. | :03:45. | |
States, this is the deadliest incident since the attacks of 9/11 | :03:45. | :03:50. | |
and the worse single loss of life in a wild fire for 80 years. President | :03:50. | :03:55. | |
Obama paid tribute to the victims, front line firefighters who formed | :03:55. | :04:00. | |
an elite Hotshot Crew. Trained to react on foot to build firebreaks | :04:00. | :04:06. | |
and barriers to the flames. This Hotshot Crew literally go out | :04:06. | :04:11. | |
on the fireline and attack with tools and other implements. They | :04:11. | :04:16. | |
don't have engines and trucks, these are the core of firefighting when | :04:16. | :04:18. | |
they are right in the middle of the incident. | :04:19. | :04:25. | |
Some of the victims were found with fire protection blankets over them, | :04:25. | :04:29. | |
clearly trying to survive when they became trapped but the flames and | :04:29. | :04:33. | |
the heat were just too great. Here the Deputy Prime Minister, Nick | :04:33. | :04:38. | |
Clegg, says that the public would find it impossible to understand why | :04:38. | :04:44. | |
MPs should get a pay rise of up to �10,000. The Independent | :04:44. | :04:46. | |
Parliamentary Standards Authorit is expected to recommend that they | :04:46. | :04:52. | |
increase it to �75,000 a year. Nick Clegg said he opposed an increase, | :04:52. | :04:56. | |
and he would not accept one but that the Government could do nothing | :04:56. | :05:01. | |
about it. Politicians and their pay has long | :05:01. | :05:04. | |
proved to be a controversial issue. After the expenses scandal four | :05:04. | :05:10. | |
years ago, the responsibility for setting pay levels was given to a | :05:10. | :05:15. | |
separate body, IPSA. Now it is expected to say that backbenchers | :05:15. | :05:19. | |
should have increases of up to �10,000 after the next election. | :05:19. | :05:22. | |
David Cameron say it is would be unthinkable for the cost of politics | :05:22. | :05:25. | |
to rise. A view backed by Nick Clegg. | :05:25. | :05:29. | |
The public would find it impossible to understand there. Are millions in | :05:29. | :05:34. | |
the public sector whose pay is increasing by 1%. They would find it | :05:34. | :05:38. | |
impossible to understand that the parliamentary representatives, at a | :05:38. | :05:44. | |
time like, this would be receiving pay increases in ex-cress of that 1% | :05:44. | :05:48. | |
increase. Some MPs feel that the pay has | :05:48. | :05:52. | |
fallen behind, meaning that they earn less than counterparts in other | :05:52. | :05:56. | |
European countries, including Germany and Italy, but at a time | :05:56. | :06:01. | |
when many in the public sector, including nurses and teachers have | :06:01. | :06:08. | |
seen their pay capped, critics question the fairness of this . | :06:08. | :06:11. | |
If the MPs do decide to take the views of the independent body to | :06:12. | :06:16. | |
accept a pay rise, we are calling then on the Government to apply that | :06:16. | :06:22. | |
principles to the Civil Service. As the body that sets of level of | :06:22. | :06:25. | |
MPs' pay is independent, David Cameron could not block the | :06:25. | :06:30. | |
proposals if he wanted, but all three main party leaders have made | :06:30. | :06:36. | |
the position clear, urging IPSA to be mindful of the public mood on pay | :06:36. | :06:41. | |
when announcing any increase. Now let's talk to Norman Smith who | :06:41. | :06:45. | |
joins me from Westminster. So ministers and some MPs are poe posed | :06:45. | :06:51. | |
to the rise, can -- are opposed to the rise, can nothing be done to | :06:51. | :06:57. | |
stop it? Well, the first problem, although everyone is aware of the | :06:57. | :07:02. | |
public back lash that they risk if they go ahead with the pay rise but | :07:02. | :07:06. | |
there may be nothing that they can do about it, because the MPs have | :07:06. | :07:11. | |
chosen to hand decisions over pay to the independent body, IPSA. The | :07:11. | :07:16. | |
second paradox is that IPSA was set up in the wake of the expenses | :07:16. | :07:20. | |
scandal to ensure that MPs were not overgenerous towards themselves. Yet | :07:20. | :07:24. | |
they have come forward with recommendations that are more | :07:24. | :07:28. | |
generous than MPs would dare recommend for themselves in the | :07:28. | :07:33. | |
climate of austerity. However, IPSA say that they will carry out a | :07:33. | :07:36. | |
consultation before coming forward with their final recommendations. I | :07:37. | :07:41. | |
hope that I am not speculating when I suggest that I don't think many | :07:41. | :07:46. | |
people will be writing in to say that they want theirmph to get a | :07:46. | :07:53. | |
bigger -- their MP to get a bigger pay rise than they might receive. | :07:53. | :07:58. | |
In Egypt, eight people are thought to have been killed in Cairo. There | :07:58. | :08:04. | |
have been huge demonstrations in the city. It marks the first anniversary | :08:04. | :08:11. | |
of the President, Mohammed Morsi of taking power. Several ministers have | :08:11. | :08:15. | |
tendered their resignations. After a night of attacks and deaths and | :08:15. | :08:18. | |
injury, the headquarters of the Muslim Brotherhood in Cairo is now | :08:18. | :08:23. | |
in the hands of the President's opponents. Burnt and looted. Their | :08:23. | :08:27. | |
building was was the symbol of the rise from being a banned | :08:27. | :08:30. | |
organisation to power in the new Egypt. | :08:30. | :08:35. | |
It is the most serious and public outbreak of violence since the | :08:35. | :08:40. | |
protest began. It may not be the last. Last night the President's | :08:40. | :08:45. | |
spokesperson called for a dialogue. TRANSLATION: The President has | :08:45. | :08:49. | |
called for dialogue. He has previously said he is reaching out | :08:49. | :08:54. | |
to all, that he is ready to listen. Tahrir Square, the centre of the | :08:54. | :08:59. | |
protests was quiet in the morning. That was expected after the scenes | :08:59. | :09:04. | |
on Sunday that were tumult use. Two fourses in Egypt have come | :09:04. | :09:08. | |
together to oppose the President. Supporters of the old regime and | :09:08. | :09:13. | |
those who risk their lives to bring it down. They are unlikely allies, | :09:13. | :09:16. | |
they don't agree about more than their desire to remove the President | :09:16. | :09:20. | |
from office. The test for the opposition right now is to sustain | :09:20. | :09:29. | |
the protests, to channel them into an organised political movement. | :09:29. | :09:33. | |
Mohammed Morsi supporters are camping out in Cairo's streets, | :09:33. | :09:37. | |
ready, they say, to protect themselves. One of the biggest | :09:37. | :09:41. | |
grievances that the Egyptians have is that morse horse morse has | :09:41. | :09:44. | |
governed for these people, his core support in the Muslim Brotherhood | :09:44. | :09:49. | |
and not for the country. They are true believers in political Islam | :09:49. | :09:52. | |
and reject anything that they feel die luts their vision of the future | :09:52. | :09:57. | |
it is not clear if the President, who shares their views is prepared | :09:57. | :10:03. | |
to make concession to -- concessions to win over their critics, about but | :10:03. | :10:06. | |
the protests show that there are millions of them. | :10:06. | :10:10. | |
The police are looking for the former partner of a woman found dead | :10:10. | :10:16. | |
in her home in Salford on Sunday. Linz Linz lin, 25, a mother of two, | :10:16. | :10:19. | |
reported Michael Cope to the police for rape and domestic violence. | :10:19. | :10:23. | |
Police say that Linzi Ashton was brutally murdered and surfed | :10:23. | :10:29. | |
injuries to her head and face. The extradition hearing for a man | :10:29. | :10:35. | |
accused of the murder on a honeymoon in South Africa has begun. | :10:35. | :10:42. | |
Mr Dewani has been accused of orchestrating the death of his wife. | :10:42. | :10:47. | |
She was shot in the outskirts of Cape Town in November, 2010. | :10:47. | :10:54. | |
The BBC has been accused of overgenerous payments to management | :10:54. | :11:00. | |
staff. In three years, the BBC spent �25 million in severance payments, | :11:00. | :11:08. | |
in some cases paying out more than was required. However, the auditors | :11:08. | :11:12. | |
said that the BBC saved money by cutting jobs. | :11:12. | :11:17. | |
It all began last year in November. Georgent whistle, the | :11:17. | :11:23. | |
Director-General resigned from the BBC. The payment, was �486,000. | :11:23. | :11:29. | |
There was an outcry about that. That led to this inquiry. That is by | :11:29. | :11:32. | |
the National Audit Office. It is about the payments. | :11:32. | :11:38. | |
Some of them have been out in the public domain. For instance �949,000 | :11:38. | :11:43. | |
for Mark Byford. The form are Director-General. We have learned | :11:43. | :11:48. | |
that many other payments have been made. An unnamed departmental | :11:48. | :11:58. | |
:11:58. | :11:58. | ||
director was given �866,000. 14 of the 60 people looked at by the | :11:58. | :12:04. | |
National Audit Office were paid more than obliged to. The culture sect | :12:04. | :12:10. | |
tear today said that the payments cannot be justified. What is the | :12:10. | :12:15. | |
BBC's response? Director-General, Tony Hall has | :12:15. | :12:19. | |
instituted �150,000 cap to come into play in September, but he added | :12:19. | :12:24. | |
that, well, he was concerned, that when it came to the matter of | :12:24. | :12:27. | |
pay-offs that the BBC had lost its way. | :12:27. | :12:33. | |
Thank you very much. The National Housing Federation is | :12:33. | :12:36. | |
warn that Government that the consequences of changes to Housing | :12:36. | :12:42. | |
Benefit are worse than it was feared. The body that represents the | :12:42. | :12:44. | |
Housing Associations, says that the so-called bedroom tax is leading to | :12:44. | :12:52. | |
a surge in rent arrears and empty homes. We have this report. | :12:52. | :12:58. | |
Bedroom tax no way! It was the most bitterly opposed of welfare reforms | :12:58. | :13:03. | |
but since April the 1st, Housing Benefit was cut for many people. | :13:03. | :13:09. | |
I am eating one meal a day. What is your budget? �20 a | :13:09. | :13:15. | |
fortnight. You have that to live on? Yes. | :13:15. | :13:19. | |
In Paul's neighbourhood in Teesside, three bedroom houses are lying | :13:19. | :13:24. | |
empty. There are too many bedrooms and then the tennants would have to | :13:24. | :13:28. | |
contribute to the rent. In this street there are four properties | :13:28. | :13:32. | |
that the local Housing Association say that they cannot rent out, as | :13:32. | :13:36. | |
they are too big and people cannot afford to move. In rent arrears | :13:37. | :13:43. | |
increased since April across the country. In east Ayrshire, up 340%. | :13:43. | :13:48. | |
In South Wales, arrears have increased by almost 150%. | :13:48. | :13:55. | |
Leeds, they have seen a 50% rise and in one London council, bad debts are | :13:55. | :13:58. | |
up by 25 per. The bedroom tax is causing real | :13:59. | :14:04. | |
chaos, doing real damage to people's lives, stopping us using the housing | :14:04. | :14:09. | |
in the way that we need to use it and saving no money for anyone. | :14:09. | :14:14. | |
The Government says that the changes were needed to contain a budging | :14:14. | :14:18. | |
Housing Benefit bill. We have a report by the National | :14:18. | :14:21. | |
Housing Federation. You would expect them to be saying this. | :14:21. | :14:25. | |
They were quiet as housing waiting lists doubled under the previous | :14:25. | :14:30. | |
government. Empty homes and soaring rent arrears | :14:30. | :14:33. | |
were not part of this plan. Ministers hoped that the impact | :14:33. | :14:38. | |
would be less severe the more that people get used to the benefit cut. | :14:38. | :14:46. | |
Now the time: And the top story: In the United States, 19 firefighters | :14:46. | :14:52. | |
are killed trying to battle a wild fire in Arizona. Improving bedside | :14:52. | :14:56. | |
manner, how medical students are taught care and compassion. | :14:56. | :15:00. | |
On BBC London: Will this be the biggest basement conversion in the | :15:00. | :15:05. | |
capital? Plans for Wimbledon to go under ground to provide more courts. | :15:05. | :15:11. | |
Prepare to be scared, as a festival of gothic comes to screens around | :15:11. | :15:20. | |
the capital. Two British players are playing in the Fourth Round of | :15:20. | :15:23. | |
Wimbledon this afternoon. It's the first time in 15 years British | :15:23. | :15:29. | |
women's number one, Laura Robson is on court now playing Estonian Kaia | :15:29. | :15:37. | |
Kanepi, a player ranked eight places below her. While Andy Murray will | :15:37. | :15:42. | |
face Mikhail Youzhny this afternoon. The women 's singles favourite | :15:42. | :15:46. | |
Serena Williams is on Centre Court and Novak Djokovic will be on later | :15:46. | :15:50. | |
for his fourth-round match. Let's join our correspondent at | :15:50. | :15:55. | |
Wimbledon now. We're starting with Laura Robson | :15:55. | :16:01. | |
because she won the girls singles title here in 2008. She would still | :16:01. | :16:05. | |
say reaching the last 16 of the main draw is her biggest achievement yet. | :16:05. | :16:09. | |
Arriving this morning she looked focussed. She was take ton a more | :16:09. | :16:14. | |
private court to practice, away from the flair of -- glare of the cameras | :16:14. | :16:19. | |
and the crowds, who have waited to see her and Andy Murray. | :16:19. | :16:23. | |
They've spent their weekend camping to say they were there to cheer two | :16:23. | :16:26. | |
Britons at the start of the second week. I camped overnight. We didn't | :16:26. | :16:32. | |
have a tent. We slept on the floor. We thought it would be fun. Yeah. I | :16:32. | :16:36. | |
wanted to get in. There's that many people they're not all going to get | :16:36. | :16:40. | |
in. As long as I see Andy Murray and Laura Robson in straight sets today, | :16:40. | :16:44. | |
it's going to be a great day. Zblt Union Jacks were out on Henman Hill. | :16:44. | :16:51. | |
They will call it Murray Mound later, before that it's Robson's | :16:51. | :16:58. | |
green. If she wins she will face Serena Williams. Making quarter | :16:58. | :17:02. | |
finals here, that's her first way of getting the experience playing here | :17:02. | :17:07. | |
at Wimbledon. Maybe in a few years, we're going to have two British | :17:07. | :17:11. | |
winners or finalists. Be a few years away for Robson but many say we'll | :17:11. | :17:18. | |
have one British winner come Sunday. Strong and steely throughout the | :17:18. | :17:22. | |
first week, Andy Murray faces 20th seed Russian, Mikhail Youzhny, a man | :17:22. | :17:27. | |
with 12 years experience in front of the Wimbledon crowd. I think the | :17:27. | :17:33. | |
crowd will be not against me. They will be for Andy. I never feel the | :17:33. | :17:36. | |
Wimbledon crowd against some players. It's normal that they | :17:36. | :17:41. | |
support Andy but not against me. Laura Robson admits she's ridden the | :17:41. | :17:44. | |
roar of the crowd into the last 16. With two British names on the board | :17:44. | :17:49. | |
at this stage for the first time in 15 years, Wimbledon is wondering how | :17:49. | :17:54. | |
much further it can take her. Laura Robson is out on court one | :17:54. | :17:57. | |
behind me here. The cheers keep going up and she racks up the | :17:57. | :18:01. | |
points. It is staying on serve at the moment now in the first set. | :18:01. | :18:06. | |
Watching it with me is Tim Henman. A solid start from Laura. She's | :18:06. | :18:16. | |
:18:16. | :18:17. | ||
playing against Darian Mackinnon. Kanepi. She has a good game. She's | :18:17. | :18:20. | |
been in Grand Slam quarter finals before. I really fancy Laura's | :18:20. | :18:24. | |
chances. She had a great first week, a couple of good wins and then it's | :18:24. | :18:28. | |
almost like you start again in the second week. She's on court one | :18:28. | :18:31. | |
which is where she's had good wins before. It will be interesting to | :18:32. | :18:36. | |
see who can come out on top. Andy Murray it's Mikhail Youzhny of | :18:36. | :18:40. | |
Russia, a man who he's beaten in every meeting previous to this. An | :18:40. | :18:44. | |
easy one? I don't think we should say easy. They've played twice | :18:44. | :18:49. | |
before but that was in 2007 and 2009. That's a long time ago. | :18:49. | :18:53. | |
Murray's game has improved a lot since then. Youzhny is a good grass | :18:53. | :18:57. | |
court player. He's had good wins on this surface. For me, Andy has too | :18:57. | :19:01. | |
much game for him. He's stronger from the baseline. His movement is | :19:01. | :19:06. | |
much better, but he has to prove that on the day. I'd like to think | :19:06. | :19:10. | |
he's going to keep the ball rolling and move to the quarter finals. The | :19:10. | :19:15. | |
first time two British players tlup to the last 16 in 15 years, the last | :19:15. | :19:24. | |
two were you and Sam Smith. Are you please pleased to -- to see the | :19:24. | :19:28. | |
record equalled? Yes, there's such a folk is on the British players and | :19:28. | :19:32. | |
we haven't had the strength in depth and to see Andy and Laura going well | :19:32. | :19:36. | |
is fantastic. Hopefully more can follow suit in years to come. Thank | :19:36. | :19:41. | |
you. Court four, if you can't get onto the show courts or you don't | :19:41. | :19:46. | |
fancy the crush on the hill, try court four. All five matches there | :19:46. | :19:54. | |
feature a British junior. Chinese lanterns are being blamed | :19:54. | :20:01. | |
for a huge fire at a plaitics plant in Smethwick in the West Midlands. | :20:01. | :20:06. | |
The blaze started at the site last night. The plume from the fire was | :20:06. | :20:12. | |
seen as far away as Coventry. Nine firefighters were treated for smoke | :20:12. | :20:16. | |
inhalation and exhaustion. Rising thousands of feet into air a | :20:16. | :20:21. | |
thick flume of grey smoke over the Black Country. Flames cover the | :20:21. | :20:27. | |
ground at a waste plant in Smethwick where 100,000 tons of paper and | :20:27. | :20:31. | |
plastic carrier bags have been burning through the night. At its | :20:31. | :20:34. | |
height 200 firefighters worked to contain the blaze. Senior officers | :20:34. | :20:39. | |
say it's the biggest they've ever dealt with. No-one was badly hurt, | :20:39. | :20:42. | |
though 11 firefighters were treated for heat exhaustion, eye problems | :20:42. | :20:50. | |
and in one case, a twisted ankle. CCTV shows that the fire was started | :20:50. | :20:55. | |
by a Chinese lantern. We will work with our colleagues in the police | :20:55. | :20:58. | |
and look to see where there were any parties or festivals or | :20:58. | :21:02. | |
celebrations. That's going to be a tough one to identify. There are an | :21:02. | :21:06. | |
increasing number of fires from Chinese loon turns. We don't want to | :21:06. | :21:10. | |
be -- lanterns. We don't want to be party poopers but this is cause and | :21:10. | :21:14. | |
effect. That lantern called a multimillion pound fire. For now, | :21:14. | :21:18. | |
the fire is contained, but it's still intensely hot inside the | :21:18. | :21:23. | |
plant. There's no point in firefighters risking their lives, so | :21:23. | :21:31. | |
the fire will be allowed to burn itself out over the coming days. | :21:31. | :21:36. | |
The former head of Canada's Central Bank, Mark Carney, has taken up his | :21:36. | :21:40. | |
new post as the Governor of the Bank of England. Mr Carney, who takes | :21:40. | :21:43. | |
over from Sir Mervyn King, has been described as the financial rock star | :21:43. | :21:47. | |
of banking. But he faces a huge job as the recovery is not fully under | :21:47. | :21:52. | |
way and prices are still rise ago buff target. | :21:52. | :21:57. | |
-- rising above target. If there's a lot weighing on Mark | :21:57. | :22:00. | |
Carney's shoulders he wasn't showing it this morning. He's the first | :22:00. | :22:04. | |
non-British head of the Bank of England in its more than 300 year | :22:04. | :22:09. | |
history and as he explained at a briefing by bank staff, day one had | :22:09. | :22:12. | |
begun early. Good morning everyone. It's a pleasure to be here. I've | :22:12. | :22:16. | |
been here since 7am actually. Very excited about getting started on. | :22:16. | :22:20. | |
This I know a lot of hard work has gone into this. We should get right | :22:20. | :22:24. | |
down to it. He's said to have a down to earth style. He used public | :22:24. | :22:29. | |
transport to get to work today. Some Canadian journalists who followed | :22:29. | :22:33. | |
his earlier career say he's the ultimate safe pair of hands. He's | :22:33. | :22:37. | |
not the most exciting man in the world. He's a little bit boring, | :22:37. | :22:44. | |
which probably isn't a bad thing as a Central Banker. He did well at | :22:44. | :22:51. | |
university. At the bank of Canada his passions beyond banking were | :22:51. | :22:55. | |
playing hockey and his family. Inflation is still above target and | :22:55. | :22:58. | |
a sustained economic recovery is proving elusive and there's | :22:58. | :23:03. | |
continuing debate about getting banks to lend more to businesses. If | :23:03. | :23:07. | |
Mark Carney's feeling a bit hock sick, he could come down to | :23:07. | :23:10. | |
Trafalgar Square, they're celebrating Canada's national | :23:10. | :23:14. | |
birthday, Canada Day, which happens to be today, his first day at work, | :23:14. | :23:18. | |
July 1. The Canadian High Commissioner did the honours at the | :23:18. | :23:21. | |
start of the hockey game and said Mark Carney was just the latest | :23:21. | :23:26. | |
Canadian to take a leading job in this country. Moira Green is doing a | :23:26. | :23:31. | |
great job at the Royal Mail. The head of Heathrow Airport is | :23:31. | :23:35. | |
Canadian. Mr Carney watched his predecessor Sir Mervyn King playing | :23:35. | :23:39. | |
cricket at the weekend. He'll be hoping for a brisk start to his own | :23:39. | :23:43. | |
innings at the bank. Now if coming back from your | :23:43. | :23:47. | |
holidays wasn't bad enough, you can face a huge phone bill on your | :23:47. | :23:51. | |
return. Well, that could change. New EU limits come into force today | :23:51. | :23:55. | |
which reduce the amount that mobile phone providers can charge for | :23:55. | :23:58. | |
making or receiving calls abroad. It will bring down the cost of | :23:58. | :24:04. | |
accessing the internet too. We often hear about the phrase | :24:04. | :24:08. | |
"bedside manner" when talking about the care nurses give. What about the | :24:08. | :24:12. | |
doctors? The need to improve care and comags was a key recommendation | :24:12. | :24:16. | |
of the Francis Inquiry into the failings of Stafford Hospital. | :24:16. | :24:19. | |
Medical students are meant to learn from senior staff. Many students say | :24:19. | :24:23. | |
they have to take part in or witness practices that they're uncomfortable | :24:23. | :24:29. | |
with. A big breath in. These medical | :24:29. | :24:33. | |
students at Newcastle University are getting some hands-on experience, a | :24:33. | :24:37. | |
vital part of their training. Under the watchful idea of Matthias | :24:37. | :24:41. | |
Schmidt they're learning not just how to examine patients, but how to | :24:41. | :24:44. | |
talk to them with compassion and respect. Their teacher says these | :24:44. | :24:49. | |
skills are crucial for their development. Tomorrow's doctor wants | :24:49. | :24:54. | |
to be the doctors that are trained perfect and if I don't set a good | :24:54. | :24:57. | |
example, if the medical school doesn't set a good example, then we | :24:57. | :25:02. | |
won't be looked after well. Sessions like this are an essential part in | :25:02. | :25:04. | |
the training of medical students when they can learn from the | :25:05. | :25:09. | |
experience of more senior doctors. But the problems arise when they | :25:09. | :25:12. | |
witness behaviour they're not comfortable with and they don't know | :25:13. | :25:18. | |
who to turn to for advice. Research carried out amongst hundreds of | :25:18. | :25:22. | |
British medical students revealed that at some point they witness or | :25:22. | :25:27. | |
take part in breaches of patient dignity and they report see ago bus | :25:27. | :25:30. | |
from senior doctors. This junior doctor, would doesn't want to be | :25:30. | :25:35. | |
identified, was asked to carry out an intimate examination of a | :25:35. | :25:37. | |
14-year-old boy under general anaesthetic without the proper | :25:37. | :25:44. | |
consent of the patient or his parents. The senior clinicians -- | :25:44. | :25:47. | |
clinician supervising made it clear we had to get on and do it because | :25:47. | :25:51. | |
it was part of the training. Without expressed consent or explicit | :25:51. | :25:56. | |
consent, it's very hard to justify your learning needs overriding the | :25:56. | :25:59. | |
dignity a patient in that circumstance. It's very hard after | :25:59. | :26:03. | |
the event or during to actually report back to your seniors because | :26:03. | :26:08. | |
it's seen as not demonstrating an appropriate level of deference to | :26:08. | :26:13. | |
the clinician trying to advance your education. Big concern is that a | :26:13. | :26:17. | |
failure to treat patients with compassion and dignity may be subtly | :26:17. | :26:21. | |
influencing the future behaviour of today's students. Not necessarily | :26:21. | :26:25. | |
the big, shocking news-grabbing headlines. It's the things that | :26:25. | :26:30. | |
can't be counted that really count. Newcastle University medical school | :26:30. | :26:34. | |
has looked again at its training, but argues some students may not be | :26:34. | :26:39. | |
prepared for what they have to face. Almost the reluctance of students to | :26:39. | :26:42. | |
get involved with intimate examinations because they felt it | :26:42. | :26:47. | |
wasn't legitimate for them to do so. Our perspective is, well, you might | :26:47. | :26:51. | |
feel awkward, but it's something that's really necessary for you as a | :26:51. | :26:55. | |
qualified practitioner. Tomorrow's doctors need to gain hands-on | :26:56. | :26:59. | |
experience. Patients must be treated with dignity. This research shows | :27:00. | :27:05. | |
that striking that balance is not always easy. | :27:05. | :27:09. | |
For decades scientists have been trying to find alternatives to coal, | :27:09. | :27:13. | |
oil and gas. The latest idea is to harness the power of the sea, but | :27:13. | :27:18. | |
it's not wave power they're working on now, it's seaweed. In North West | :27:18. | :27:25. | |
Scotland they're trying to convert the stuff into biofuel. | :27:25. | :27:31. | |
The beautiful coastal landscape is the ideal setting for this | :27:31. | :27:36. | |
experiment making renewable fuel out of a very familiar commodity. | :27:36. | :27:40. | |
Something there is a lot of in this part of the world is this stuff - | :27:40. | :27:46. | |
seaweed. In order to make a fuel out of it, you need a lot of it on a | :27:46. | :27:51. | |
regular and sustainable basis and that means farming it. That's why on | :27:51. | :27:54. | |
this experimental farm scientists are testing a novel way of cull | :27:54. | :27:58. | |
investigating a crop. They're harvesting sugar kelp that they've | :27:58. | :28:03. | |
grown on textile mats. Each mat is made from a different material. The | :28:03. | :28:07. | |
aim is to work out on which textile the kelp works best. In the | :28:07. | :28:11. | |
long-term it could be a very large-scale business with large | :28:11. | :28:19. | |
areas of the sea dedicated to the cultivation of mag row algae. | :28:19. | :28:22. | |
experts say the farming will be too expensive and the fuel too cheap to | :28:23. | :28:27. | |
make it a viable business. This project aims to make cultivation | :28:27. | :28:31. | |
more efficient, producing large, easy to harvest, carpets of seaweed. | :28:31. | :28:35. | |
If the trial goes well, offshore farms like this could become a more | :28:36. | :28:43. | |
familiar site around the UK coast. familiar site around the UK coast. | :28:43. | :28:46. | |
Now let's look at the weather. In this forecast I'm saving the best | :28:46. | :28:49. | |
till last. There's a reason to watch the next two-and-a-half minutes. For | :28:49. | :28:54. | |
the moment, the weather is in a changeable mood. Speckled cloud | :28:54. | :28:59. | |
indicating where we have showers around. Also, some sunshine. Out to | :28:59. | :29:02. | |
the west is a more extensive area of cloud. That's tomorrow's warning | :29:02. | :29:07. | |
that. Will bring most of us rain -- tomorrow's weather. That will bring | :29:07. | :29:12. | |
rain to most of us. There are showers around. Now so far today, | :29:12. | :29:16. | |
most of them have been across the northern half of the UK. Some are | :29:16. | :29:19. | |
now filtering further south through parts of Wales, especially the | :29:19. | :29:25. | |
Midlands and into East Anglia. At 4pm, though there are showers around | :29:25. | :29:29. | |
in Scotland, good sunny spells in between. Not many showers at all for | :29:29. | :29:33. | |
Northern Ireland. There are some in northern England. Some of them have | :29:33. | :29:37. | |
given wet weather into the North West. They are filtering now into | :29:37. | :29:41. | |
the Midlands, one or two into Wales. For much of southern England, you're | :29:41. | :29:44. | |
avoiding the showers. Though you will see more cloud for the | :29:44. | :29:47. | |
afternoon than through the morning, you're staying mainly dry. It is | :29:48. | :29:51. | |
fresher than it was yesterday. I'm sure the players at Wimbledon will | :29:51. | :29:54. | |
appreciate that. A big afternoon of British action. It's staying fair, | :29:54. | :29:58. | |
though cloud increases. Pollen levels are high. Tomorrow, | :29:58. | :30:01. | |
thickening cloud all the while, increasing chance for rain, | :30:01. | :30:05. | |
especially by the evening, as I'll show you in a moment. Coverage | :30:05. | :30:09. | |
continues across the BBC. There will be a few showers around this | :30:09. | :30:12. | |
evening, especially across eastern parts of the UK. But also some | :30:12. | :30:16. | |
sunshine. What showers there are will fade away. For much of the | :30:16. | :30:20. | |
night it's dry with clear spells. Coolest to eastern areas. Some of us | :30:20. | :30:23. | |
into single figures. You'll notice to the west, though, cloud coming | :30:23. | :30:27. | |
in, a freshening breeze and outbreaks of rain to start Tuesday. | :30:27. | :30:31. | |
Some of us from the word go to the west on Tuesday morning will be wet. | :30:31. | :30:35. | |
Woe' see that rain erratically spreading further east during the | :30:35. | :30:39. | |
day with increase increasing breeze. Take advantage of early sunshine to | :30:39. | :30:43. | |
eastern areas. It's not going to last. The rain not really into the | :30:43. | :30:46. | |
south-east until later in the day. Outbreaks of rain in Wimbledon into | :30:46. | :30:50. | |
the afternoon. But the best chance for rain at Wimbledon will be in the | :30:50. | :30:53. | |
evening. The rain is cleared away on Wednesday. Left behind is a lot of | :30:54. | :30:58. | |
cloud. Sunshine hard to come by. Still a few showers. Temperatures in | :30:58. | :31:01. | |
the teens. Still showers on Thursday, but then on Friday, this | :31:01. | :31:05. | |
is the best till last bit, the weather begins to settle down. | :31:05. | :31:08. | |
Here's why: An area of high pressure is coming back to the UK. It's just | :31:08. | :31:12. | |
in time for the weekend, giving increasing sunshine and warmth. At | :31:12. | :31:16. | |
the moment it looks like it will last into next week as well. More | :31:16. | :31:20. | |
details as ever, about that for details as ever, about that for | :31:20. | :31:24. | |
where you are, online. Now before we go, let's bring you a | :31:24. | :31:28. |
